VK-162 G-Mouse USB GPS Dongle Navigation Module/GPS USB Engine Board External GPS Antenna Remote Mount USB GPS Receiver for Raspberry Pi Support Google Earth Window Linux

Has been easy to use and setup with NMEATime2 for time synchronization. I use it for a WIN10 laptop and FT8. I would buy another one if I ever needed to.

I received the product in a clear plastic bag (well pack and protected). The USB Onyehn VK-162 G-Mouse works wonders. It was easy to plug and play, I did some online search and found the right configuration that it almost made it work right if the box. I use it indoors and it picks a lot of satellites (fills more than 15) and you can actually see it changing coordinates as it adjusts to pinpoint the nearest location. It's accurate (Long,Lat) as close as a few houses... to a few blocks near me location. The long-lat coordinates changes as it try to get closer and closer to my location. Some times it pinpoints the houses on the other side of my physical location but... for me that's not a problem as I don't need it for GPS accuracy but for other purposes so it could be a city off but as long as it gives the right time zone it works for me. For GPS accuracy I'd use my phone LOL. but it's decent and it works. I don't think it supports PPS. But it does provide time and coordinates (long - lat).

I’m using this USB GPS with a Windows computer to capture time, altitude, and location data for my telescope setup. I use NINA to read the GPS signal from the dongle. To get it to connect to a COM port, I need to disconnect all other serial devices first. Once the GPS establishes a COM port connection, I can reconnect the other devices. After NINA retrieves the location data, it usually only takes the GPS a minute or two to find enough satellites for a reliable reading.

I use a program called WinLink to send messages over ham radio. It can connect to a serial com port to collect GPS data. It connected instantly to this device and worked perfectly within seconds.

Windows didn't use the correct driver. It was listed as a virtual port in device manager, but it didn't work. It does not come with documentation. I saw a video that said to use U-Center 2, but that didn't work either. I contacted the seller and they said to use U-Center, which included the driver. Now it works great. Accurate even to the which side of the house I'm in.Seems like a good value.Support responded promptly on weekdays.

This GPS puck works perfectly with my Raspberry pi zero based tracker. Syncs up with satellites quickly, even indoors!

It is inexpensive works with with raspberry pi, but the URL for windows should be a link and not a picture of a link. In typing the URL in, I found that it no longer exists. It took many google searches to find the windows driver. It appears to be seeing the data, but open CPN has not discovered it. How easy it would be for the seller to create their own drop box with a driver that works. Except for the url struggles, the gps works fine. It takes time to find itself but once it does, it moves with you well at 5 kts.

I use this while operating POTA. Some parks just do not have cell service and this allows my laptop to keep the time sync'd.
